Besides "the delightful vagaries of the Music Business", I love 'Anything'. From the energetic title track to the delirious "Psychomania" & from #gothic elegy "The Portrait" to the faithful rendition of "Alone Again Or", 'Anything' is an underrated gem.

“Equinox really was the start of some great records for A&M. We had an evolved sense of who we were, and what we could accomplish. And our goals were then set that much higher. In the context of Styx, I think it all came together on that record." — James “JY” Young.

Go 2 is greatly underrated in the #XTC canon, not least by the band themselves. Special mention about the original vinyl package by #Hipgnosis A truly inspired, smart, cynical and perfect for the period.
